The synthesis of anhydrous rhodium(II) acetate is described. Solid [Rh(OOCCH3)2]2 forms stable 1:2 adducts (i.e., 1 dimer:2 ligands) with water, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfide, trimethy
Kinetics of the Reduction of a Tetra-μ-acetato-dirhodium Cation by Substituted 1,2- and 1,4-Dihydroxybenzene Compounds in Aqueous Perchlorate Media

The kinetics of the reduction of the tetra-μ-acetato-dirhodium cation, +(+), by substituted 1,2- and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene compounds (H2Q) have been investigated in aqueous perchlorate media.The observed rate equation (below) is interpreted in terms of a rate- -d+>/dt=2(k1+k2K1/+>)+> determining one-electron oxidation of H2Q or HQ- to a semiquinone radical intermediate.The rate constants for the cross-reactions are correlated with the semiquinone reduction potentials by means of the Marcus relationship.Self-exchange rate constants for the dihydroxybenzene/semiquinone and semiquinone/quinone couples are discussed in terms of the inner-sphere and solvent reorganization energies for electron exchange.
